| OK so a few questions more.... Will there be power (120v) for us to use? We bring our own tables and chairs and sun shade I assume? there Maybe food according to the posting, is it best to bring your own just in case? There must be some regulars to these that have lots of useful advice on what to bring... Home will be like 12 hours away (with no stops) so its not like nipping home if i didn't bring something will be an option.  I am packing a large "Humble Pie" also... (Its a Canadian Tradition) And lots of Good-Humor! Bryan | | | Bryan, ~~

| No power at the lake. I doubt that we will be able to provide food at the lake. Yes, bring tables and sunshade. There will plenty of tool boxes full of tools, main things you need at the lake are patches, paint (dope), and of course, charged batteries. Do not leave your transmitter at home (this has happened on occasion). We should have CO2 and some drinks at the lake. | | | |

| We have 2 battles in the morning and two in the afternoon. We TRY to start at 10:00 am and 1-2:00 pm but we are slow... It's like herding cats.... In reality we will be lakeside from 9:00 until 4:30-5:00. Stop by anytime you can, see you there! | | Rob A.

| It was nice to meet you both and your Mom, glad we could show you the battles and our boats (This is Bryan, the Bismarck and Hindenburg Captain)
The little Espania seems to be the boat to beat, it even sank 3 much larger opponents in one of the sorties, and only larger waves finally sunk it.

| Just back from the battle, the Allies lost badly. Weather was great first day and cold and windy for the following two. Sorry you missed it, lots of sinks. | | | |
